March 24 2010 – ROBINDALE –Eblockwatch report from a member:: “My family home was broken into twice in the past seven hours. The second time happened @ o2h45 when 2 assailants were inside my house and tried to murder me with a panga. I was attended to by Netcare but needed to go for stitches to my forehead as it is quite a deep cut.Case 879/03/2010 www.eblockwatch.co.za

Andre Snyman, founder of the Eblockwatch cellphone security service, warns that people should study their crime map and know ‘how they are robbing your neighbours. Learn from what happened to them – as it will most likely be the way your criminal is also targetting you,’ he writes. “The best way to prevent crime is to know your criminal’s game plan. This is not as difficult as it seems. Criminals’ preparations are good because their lives depends on it. Try and think like a criminal. Lock your house, close your gate and put your alarm on and let your dogs run in the garden. Then break into your own house…” Http://www.eblockwatch.co.za

"I am just grateful he didn’t rape me,’ said 79-year-old Afrikaner resident of Bloemfontein Mrs Hester Thomas after her attacker stabbed her above the eye, beat her purple and blue, choked her, jumped on her chest and kicked her during a so-called ‘house robbery’ in which very little of any value was actually ‘robbed’. Volksblad journalist Vicüs Bürger reports that this is the third attack on elderly Afrikaners in Bloemfontein within a week. She was admitted to Pelonomi Hospital. The attacker merely ‘robbed’ some meat, cheese and clothing… Picture can be purchased by commercial outlets from Wicüs Bürger, http://www.volksblad.com

The widowed Mrs Thomas of Lilac Avenue in Gardenia Park, Bloemfontein contacted the animal welfare society to remove some feral cats from her garden. She’s lived alone for the past two years – and was waiting on her front stoep for the arrival of the animal-wardens when a ‘tall black man aged between 24 and 30 sauntered over and asked her for a job. She said she couldn’t help him; he sauntered away but returned a bit later demanding that she give him money – and then stabbed her wth a knife above her left eye – then cut off her belt and put it around her neck, choking her with it. “He beat me and dragged me around the outside of the house,’ she said. He also jumped on her chest. “He was very strong’. He opened the front door with the housekey she always has around her neck and dragged her inside. However the old lady tried to put up a defence, “I gave him all kinds of hell,’ she said: her toes are bruised because she kicked him; and she also grabbed ornaments, beating him with them. Her attacker tied her up and locked her up in the bathroom. It took her several hours to free herself from her bond – and she managed to unlock the bathroom door with a spare key hidden inside the room, she said. She rushed to her neighbours who alerted the SAPS. And while the attacker could have emptied the house of all valuables he apparently only stole some meat, cheese and some clothing – those items are missing.

Her stepson Denis, a Bloemfontein businessman, said it was ‘unacceptable what happened to my stepmom. She ‘s a good woman.’ He also said that she was a strong-willed person who will be able to deal with the traumatic experience. Police captain Chaka Marope confirmed the ‘house robbery’. No-one was arrested.

Two days earlier, the Van Vuuren family was attacked by a six-member gang with knives and spades. One of the victims, Mrs Francina van Vuuren (77) sustained brain-damage during the brutal assaults and is in coma in Pelonomi-Hospital. And Emeritus-Professor Flippie Minnaar (83) and wife Louise (77) of Paul Roux Street in Dan Pienaar suburb, also in Bloemfontein, were taken to the Medi-Clinic after they were attacked Saturday-evening.

SLOGAN ‘KILL THE BOER’ DAUBED ON FARM HOUSE WALL IN TWO TORTURED MURDER VICTIMS’ BLOOD: IS THIS JUST ‘ORDINARY CRIME"’ ?

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
